christmas itself is a christian holiday, but the date on which it was celebrated changed to coincide with the pagan winter solstice festival. Up until the 18th century, december 25th was like a huge mardi gras.
C'mon, did you really think anyone could be born in a manger in the middle of winter? that's pretty inhospitable!
